Console not pinging phantom

[hibob5]

So as the title states my console isn't pinging phantom. I have made sure the server is on, everything is up to date, and that they are both connected to the internet. Am I missing something?

edit: im on ps4

Did you open the inbound phantom firewall port on the computer hosting phantom?

[hibob5]

Yes i have

[imnotjack91]

What os are you using to host?

[imnotjack91]

Also, phantom won't broadcast if it's not connecting to the server, have you verified it is connecting (using ios or Android version to connect through the proxy?)

[hibob5]

Im on windows. And i have checked on mobile before and it works on both it and ps4 it just stops connecting on and off for a few days at a time.

Hello, we're seeing this behaviour on an Xbox as well. The issue is caused by launching phantom, connecting to the server on the Xbox, playing for any amount of time, even only a few minutes, then disconnecting from the server on the Xbox. The server never reappears and phantom has to be restarted for it to show up again.

Suggested fix: detect when a session ends and automatically refresh phantoms connection to the server after a suitable period of time, a minute or two to ensure no false disconnect triggers.

@jhead I'm going to start testing this issue with the worker's flag. Curious to see if it fixes the issue. Will report back in a few days.

I'm getting the same issue, the server isn't showing up on the LAN list at all. Updated both the bds and clients to latest version. Can connect to the server via Windows 10 client, but phantom wont ping the console and thus not appearing in the list.

Have you checked that your server is set to broadcast on Lan? If it isn't the Phantom won't show up. Also have you tried manually connecting to the server through Phantom from the Windows 10 client? Using the Phantoms IP and the Port number listed in console when it started.

Yes, checked with MCC Tool Chest PE as per the other issue, set to 1. Phantom is reporting an IP of 0.0.0.0 is this normal?

I tried binding the proxy to my internal IP on the network (192.168.1.12)

brad@Bradleys-MacBook-Pro Phantom % ./phantom-macos -server myserver.com:19132 -debug -bind 192.168.1.12 -bind_port 19132

Minecraft doesn't see the server at 192.168.1.12 or 127.0.0.1 but it can see it and can connect at myserver.com

Yes, 0.0.0.0 is network speak for universal receiver listening on all interfaces. Is basically a zero-configuration way of ensuring applications providing network services show up as expected by the user on devices with unusual network configurations. Such as laptops that have both WiFi and LAN connections.
